Research UAV

After almost a decade of successfully supplying the research market with robust and proven flight systems the AscTec Research Line UAVs and their payloads are declared end of life by 31st March 2018. Please place your orders before December 31, 2017**.

Leading universities, research labs, institutes and companies worldwide rely on our advanced research UAV technology to design the future. You can simply integrate your programmed algorithms for testing in live flights with up to 1,000 Hz update rate and our AscTec AutoPilot as “Safety Backup”.

“It is always interesting to observe that AscTec machines are used for nearly every cutting-edge video.” Gary Mortimer, sUAS News.

/// Raise the bar & actively design future technology solutions.

The Low Level Processor (LLP) ensures a highly stable flight attitude of your flight system: The LLP is the data controller and processes all sensor data and performs the data fusion of all relevant information with an update rate of 1 kHz!

The High Level Processor (HLP) allows you to control your flight system according to your c-code: Take control over the flight system with your control algorithms.

The inertial guidance system provides highest precision through advanced sensor technology and two ARM7 microprocessors.

Safe testing thanks to the Safety Switch function: While testing your control commands and maneuvers, you can simply switch back into safe mode to allow the well-proven AscTec AutoPilot to take control.

Telemetry in real-time: All necessary system information such as GPS position, height, velocity, battery load, link and GPS quality is displayed live.

Sensor output check: All important sensor values and system parameters are checked automatically before each flight.

3 emergency modes: The pilot can choose one of three emergency modes to determine the automatic landing in case of link loss:
